About this study

Official title: Correlation of Hydronephrosis on Point of Care Ultrasound With CT Finding in Patients With Expected Renal Colic

The purpose of this study is to determine the overall sensitivity and specificity of hydronephrosis on point-of-care bedside ultrasound to identify hydronephrosis as compared to hydronephrosis found by CT.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. hydronephrosis bedside ultrasound

    To determine the overall sensitivity and specificity of hydronephrosis on point-of-care bedside ultrasound to identify hydronephrosis as compared to hydronephrosis found on by CT.

    Measured: Sept 2011-Jan 2013

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. hydronephrosis bedside ultrasound

    To determine test performance characteristics of hydronephrosis on point of care ultrasound with the goal of incorporating POC US into a prospective rule for determining which patients with suspected renal colic require CT evaluation.

    Measured: Sept 2011-Jan 2013

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hydronephrosis and Renal Colic, run by Yale University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

hydronephrosis bedside ultrasound (time frame: Sept 2011-Jan 2013). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jul 2014.
